What is the price of broken glass replacement in Dover?
Guide prices for a replacement pane in Dover are £174 to £714 including VAT (£145 to £595 plus VAT), including the glass. The visit charge, from £174 including VAT (£145 plus VAT), is confirmed before we attend and deducted from the price if you go ahead.
Broken glass replacement means clearing a cracked or smashed pane, measuring the opening and fitting new glass, which is often the right moment to upgrade to laminated security glass. It covers windows, doors, shopfronts and screens in homes and businesses.
What we look at
- Measuring and ordering of made-to-measure glass
- Written description of the work for insurance claims
- Sealed units, single panes and shop panes
- Like-for-like or laminated security upgrade
- Loose and broken glass removed safely
- Bead and frame checks while the glass is out
Visits in Dover and nearby
Visits in Dover (CT16) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Folkestone (7 miles), Deal (8 miles) and Canterbury (15 miles).
Kent ranges from Canterbury's listed city centre and the Regency fronts of Tunbridge Wells to the Medway towns, Ashford's growth estates and coastal Margate and Folkestone.
Typical reasons to book:
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Glass damaged during building work
Things to think about
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Like for like or upgrade
Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next time.
Building regulations and safety in England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
How it works
- Describe the damage and send a photo
- Visit price confirmed
- Measure and make safe if needed
- Glass agreed, ordered and fitted
Broken glass replacement in Dover: questions
Do you cover Folkestone as well as Dover?
Yes. As well as Dover, we can arrange visits in nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury. Dates depend on installer availability.
How quickly can broken glass be replaced?
The new glass has to be made to measure, so lead times depend on the type and size. Temporary boarding can be arranged where an installer is available; we do not promise a fixed response time.
Can you give me paperwork for my insurer?
Yes. We provide a written description of the damage, the work and the glass fitted, which you can send with your claim.
Should I replace broken glass with laminated glass?
If the pane was broken in a break-in, yes, usually. Laminated glass holds together when struck, so the same route is much harder to use again.
